PC SHOW June 2011

ABBEY: 

A week before the event, we were scouting the estimated prices for the products that we'll buy. We're expecting that those prices will be lower once the IT show comes. We're right; aside for the prices became low, there were lots of freebies. One thing we noticed is that there are fewer people who came even though its a weekend. Maybe more people will come before the show ends on Sunday. Lesson for us is to exert effort to visit a number of shops to compare and have the best buy for your product. Patience is the key and pays a lot in the end.

WILL: Feet? Check! IC? Check! Wallet? Ahmmmm. Haha. This is not my first time to go here at Singapore's quarterly IT show. Last year we just bought for an acer netbook - a piece of cake to carry. Now we bought our very own desktop, another laptop, an iPad, 1TB HDD, so total of 4 paper bags, a trolley and one big carton. 

      Tips when you go to Suntec? Drop the idea of using the car for car park shortage, do not hail a cab traffic jam is so bad! Use MRT, alight at esplanade station. Go there as early as you can. 

      Before the IT show, scout! So you will know the price if its lower and the freebies will be greater. You can also save your time in roaming around the 2nd, 4th and 6th floor of suntec convention.
      Here you cannot haggle for the price but you can ask for more freebies. Just unlock your charm to the sales executives. 

Twinings of London Tea

ABBEY: Wilma likes this tea, but won't buy it always as it was a bit expensive compared to Lipton. But the leaves taste great. They also have teas infused with berries, ginger, etc. When we were at the grocery, she asked me if we can buy a box of those teas, I said yes and she was ecstatic. The box has four teabags in each of the four flavors. Also the drink will not have a bitter after taste even the bag is soaked in water for a long time.

WILL: Literally, Its my cup of tea. The first twinings i tasted was the four red fruit flavored a pasalubong from Italy. 

      From there, i keep on sipping their teas. Unlike others, u must take off the teabag after 3 minutes or the taste will be bitter, this twinings, even whole day mo ibabad, damn!, it will just give you the full flavor of it.
      In philippines it costs 190Php per box of 25, here it costs 6.95SGD. 

Popeyes Singapore

ABBEY: We were looking for a place in Tampines mall where we can have lunch. We decided to go for popeye's. They're offering their easter treat when we got there. For 4.95, Wilma had a regular soda, a biscuit, 2 pieces chicken tenders, and a chicken wing. I ordered their 3- piece tenders for 4.90. The ambiance is good. Another treat will be given if you answer their online survey.  Make sure to keep your receipt.

WILL: What i love in this restaurant? Their biscuit which is look-a-like in form of muffin :) The chicken is so tasty that you can crave for more. 

But their meal set is quite expensive. It costs from 6$. 

      After your first meal don't forget to log in to their site, take a short survey, get the code an write behind the receipt then redeem your free meal :) 

      The first branch we dined-in was in Tampines Mall then claimed the free meal at Punggol Promenade.
